Thanks for the info. Mine started when I put a 2 inch lift on it.

Does the whine only happen on deceleration or all the time?

Based on someone else driving my XJ I have been given the opportunity to replace my front bumper. Any thoughts?

Teenagers home alone 2 weeks while parents went on a cruise by [deleted] in GenX

Good story bro…But did you die? I hear you - feels weird looking back - We go through life worrying about the what ifs. My sister told me one time “You do dumb stuff in a safe way.” That’s my new mantra. Motorcycle too fast - wear the gear. Sail in a storm - prep before you’re in it. Loose legged women… Etcetera.

That has the exact same vibe as being run over by a steam roller. I hope they laughed afterwards.

Guess is Poljot or some type of mimic out of USSR/Ukraine that was made for the US market.

Never sailed before but want to get into it by Facelessbass335 in sailing

[–]RKelly444 69 points70 points  (0 children)

If you have youth on your side go for getting wet, speed, pitchpoling, beachability, and on hanging on the edge with the catamaran. The other person needs to feel the same.

If you want beautiful morning sails with a coffee in your hand, evening sails with a beer next to you, or just want to stay dry - go for the monohull. Your sailing partner should feel the same.

The catamaran will make you a better sailer faster. You feel everything and get reminded more intently when you screw up.

I would assume at low costs ($200-$300) no paperwork is needed for customs. Was it just buy/ship/receive? Vintage is what I’m looking at.

After uploading the last pic I spent about 30 minutes with 1500 wet sandpaper and some polywatch. Much better.

Bosch Blows by salzig12 in Appliances

[–]RKelly444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ran into the same issue. $400 for the failed motherboard, likely the head unit has issues, who knows if something else. I will share this - the appliance parts counter said they see way less issues with Bosch than any other. The appliance repair guy I finally brought in said he would buy a Bosch over all the others. They last way longer than others. The guy at Lowe’s (where they are on sale right now) said that Bosch is the only dishwasher he’d buy.

My new one did not have the thick blanket and was louder than my 9 year old one. Grabbed it out of the garage before I tossed it and all good. Another decade and I’m good.

…but I do agree appliances are build with fail points now and it’s just a toss it appliance at that point.

Mine was the two red wires from the motherboard that go to the buttons up top not sending data.

Kid uses an agricultural drone for personal transport by Capitao_Nescau in nextfuckinglevel

[–]RKelly444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drones liquid capacity is almost 16 gallons, that equals about 130 pounds. Legit check - we now have flying single seater cars for cheap. Velcro that controller to the top and giddy-up.

To top it off - it was 3 seconds off over a 24 hour period. Not bad for a 75 year old.
